The new beds are really starting to shape but I'm still unsure when I should start planting since we are expecting cooler temps. Every time I look into the dogs area I see something new that has been destroyed by the girls so I really think it's going to be the lesser of two evils. Frost or beagles?

Planted my new daylilies and have started setting out the tomato plants. It's going to be awhile before I can plant them but they need to start hardening off. The air is so much better than the musty basement anyway. The flat leaf parsley that I started from seed looks great. We love to cook with it but we also use it as a host plant for swallowtail butterflies. I've started so many many plants that we should have enough for both.

If I can pull everything together that the yard should look really amazing this year. It has evolved into a large garden instead of a couple beds around the parameter of a large grass area.
